A Silver of Luck

Bug Report:
Occasionally when a cooled down furnace uses a coal it causes an infinite loop, soft locking the run.
Additionally the cooling furnace managed to gain up to 20+ turns of cooling at one point.

I appear to have found an infinite loop bug. A furnace next to a silver ore and a silver bar is now trapped in an infinite loop for some reason.

This assumes that random values will even out over a short period of time, which is not how it works.

I've made it so that Tin and Copper would gravitate more to a neutral value of 2. It takes two +0.5 spins to get rid of a -1 spin, but likewise it takes one +1 spin to negate two -0.5 spins. Everything rounds up to a neutral value. Except Bronze which if i remember correctly, given enough time, is more likely to give more coins.

Once again, for those kind of bars I think that they are good as they are, especially with rare items that can just make them OP. Even if you get a bad roll, if you have another bar which had a good roll, next to a metalhead or anything boosting them, they can easily steamroll. It all just comes to luck, and while i agree that there aren't a lot of uses for them, they can still be a transition build into something better if they don't work out.

Don't get me wrong: I like what this does to Miner. I've always felt that ore builds are more viable than other builds, for a couple different reasons, and I think this mod's mechanics (especially rubble) help balance it out a bit. But the Tin/Copper/Bronze mechanics are just a headache if you get a bad roll early on.

The vanilla Miner has plenty of risk/reward in it already from the threat of drowning in low-value gems. Pearls don't need a chance of taking a -2 penalty to threaten your run; they just need to crowd out all of the high-value symbols. Tin would be more than risky/rewarding enough if it gave a flat -2|0|3|0|-2 based on column instead of stacking, likewise for copper doing -2/0/2/4. Having them take money when next to each other and give money otherwise would also give them plenty of risk/reward, while also giving you interesting options to manage the risk (lean into one or the other, or avoid having too many of each).

In theory, Drone Kit and Robot Kit serve as copper/tin sinks, but I find that they simply don't trigger reliably enough to prevent an anti-snowball. Likewise, Bronze Alloy Forge seems like it would mitigate the problem, until you realize that Bronze is even MORE risky. Jeweler is really the only good option for dealing with this situation, but this runs into a problem common among many builds that rely on rare symbols to make builds viable: if you don't roll that specific rare symbol , the build falls apart. I've never successfully gotten a fruits build off the ground because Ms. Fruit just can't be reliably added, for instance.

This only gets worse when you add in the fact that tin and copper can receive a penalty on the turn they're added, if they're added by a furnace. If your furnace and ore land in the wrong spot, you'll end up with a bar of metal that's literally worthless from the moment it was added.

There aren't a lot of good tools for dealing with a copper/tin anti-snowball situation. Rolling tin in the side columns or copper in the top row 2 or 3 times in a row can keep you in debt for the rest of a run, because the losses are cumulative . If your tin is at -4, it will continue being a drain on your spins until you can remove that penalty--and that takes at LEAST two middle-column spins in a row, or more than that if you roll a side column in between them.

Luck Be A Landlord is definitely a luck-based game, yeah, but it has a lot of tools to manage that luck. The vanilla Miner/Ore has a strong risk of drowning you in Pearls and Shiny Rocks, but symbols like Geologist and Diver exist to help you deal with that by consuming those symbols. Likewise, an Urns build depends not only on plenty of urns, but on Hooligans reliably destroying those urns. Your reward for building lots of Hexes is that if you get an Eldritch Horror, it can eat the hexes for bonus money. There's also items for all of these that make it easier to deal with their downsides.
